The Lewis structure of PF3 shows that the central phosphorus atom has how many non bonding and how many bonding electron pairs?
3 bonding pairs and one lone pair or non-bonding pair
Which of these is the correct Lewis structure for a sodium atom?
The electron-dot structure of sodium atom is 'Na-dot' or 'Na.' One dot is one valence electron.
What type of bond is in sodium?
This question doesn't make sense. For a bond to form, you must have a compound such as NaCl. To determine the number of bonds, the Lewis structure must be drawn. It is a single bond, so that means that the bond type is a sigma bond.A second opinion:The questioner may be asking about the bonding in sodium metal. The bonding in metals is, not surprisingly, referred to as metallic bonding. The "free" electrons are delocalized and can move easily through the metal, allowing for electrical and heat conduction.
In the Lewis structure of ethylene glycol HOCH2CH2OH how many valence electrons need to be shown and how many pairs of electrons are bonding and how many are nonbonding?
22
How does the octet rule influence Lewis dot structures?
Lewis dot structures are influenced by octet rule, when the electrons increase or decrease to fit into noble gas. Hence the chemical bonding in Lewis structure change.
What is the Lewis structure for NOCl?
nitrogen chlorine
How many equivalent Lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in SeF2O?
A single Lewis structure can be used to represent the bonding in SeF2O.
Bonding in molecules or ions that cannot be correctly represented by a single Lewis structure is?
Resonance structures refer to bonding in molecules or ions that cannot be correctly represented by a single Lewis structure. The Lewis dot structures show valence electrons.
What are the characteristics of Lewis structure formulas?
Lewis structure formulas are flat graphical formulas which do not contain any 3D information. A line in a Lewis structure represents a single bond formed between two electrons, while a pair of dots can be used to show a bonding pair or a pair of non-bonding electrons.
The Lewis structure for phosphine, PH3, has?
4io3orho3ihr33
What is the hybridization of the central sulfur atom in SF4?
It should be sp3d. first draw the Lewis structure. then you can see the central S atom has 4 bonding pair and 1 lone pair. then draw molecular orbital. Distribute electron according the bonding and lone pair. the paired electron represent lone pair in Lewis structure. and the other unpaired electron distribute in the molecular orbital represent the number of bonding pair in Lewis structure
What is a Lewis Structure?
A Lewis structure is a model that uses electron-dot structures to show how electrons are arranged in molecules. Pairs of dots or lines represent bonding pairs this is a CO32− model
The Lewis structure of PF3 shows that the central phosphorus atom has how many non bonding and how many bonding electron pairs?
3 bonding pairs and one lone pair or non-bonding pair
Which of these is the correct Lewis structure for a sodium atom?
The electron-dot structure of sodium atom is 'Na-dot' or 'Na.' One dot is one valence electron.
Al2cl6 exists as discrete dimeric molecule write Lewis structure of this?
Covalent and Dative covalent bonding.
What is the Lewis dot structure for sodium borohydride?
This is an ionic compound. Sodium is positively charged and is paired with the negatively charged BH4 molecule, which, in Lewis dot structure form, comprises a boron atom connected to four H atoms.
How many dots should be drawn in the Lewis dot structure for an atom of sodium?
